Women as Jurors
jiving votes to women does not mean
that women shall he required to nerve
on Juries. The two thing' are distinct
Tho qualifications of voters are fixed by
section 1 of article vll of the constitu
tion, which gives votes to males. This
i about to be amended so that the word
"males" shall he omitted. The qualifi
cations of Jurors are prescribed by stat
ute, which may be changed from time to
time without affecting the question of
voting.
The Nebraska Jury law provide that
Jurors shall lie taken from a lift made
tip from "all males residing In any of the
countiea of this state having the utmll
fleatlons of electors," with certain othet
limitations as to' aire and occupation
Thus, persona over KO years of age an
not required to serve on Juries, nor min
isters, certain county officers, attorneys
physician, druggists, ' letter carriers
members of the state militia and of the
fire department. If we can exempt min
isters, doctors find lawyers, who are
voters, It is quite likely that we can ex
empt women when they are voters.
Without giving votes to women, laws
could be passed permitting or compelling
them to serve on Juries. If women sit
on Juries In Seattle. It is because the men
and women voters of the state of Wash
ington have decided that It is best for
women to do so.
When the suffrage amendment carries
in Nebraska, whether women shall be
compelled to serve on juries or shall be
qualified to aerve if they see fit, or shall
bo absolutely exempt, can be considered
and settled by statutes to be passed form
time to time. The only difference will
be that then women will have a voice
In deciding whether they shall or shall
not sit on Juries, where now they have

Protection for Women
Those of us who are advocating pro-
tectlve legislation for mnnen realse that '
our greatest enemies In educating public ;
opinion along this line are the suffra
gists. For the miffrajEists are demand
ing absolute, equality before the law for j
men and women. I
At the last session of the Connecticut,
legislature when the fifty-four-hour law
for women rei-ommende hy the Industrial
commission was up for consideration the
only woman who spoke aralnst it was a
suffragist. She said women needed no
prlvlifges and protections not needed by
men. flhe asked for "absolute equality
ind Identity under the law, with the
words male and famale wiped off the
statute books." No woman who, like
he writer, has punched a time clock i
vants equality for men and women In
ndustry. Life Is hard enough for the
"onian who toils. Let us try to shield
and protect her nt her task to our ut
most ability,
Tho Wage Earners' Anti-Suffrage
league endorses the nine-hour day for;
women but not for men; the abolition
of night work for women but not for
men; the prohibition of dangerous oc
cupations, such as working In mines,
running elevators, cleaning and oiling
moving machinery, handling explosives
and all occupations which require con
stant standing for women but not for
men. Some slight progress has been
mide in semiring protective legislation
for women, although the laws are not:
as yet either adequate or well enforced.!
Hut once the Irw recognises men and;
women as equal, the entire fabric of!
protective legislation for women will
have the underpinnings knocked out from
under it. I
We ran only ask. greater protection!
from the lows for women than we ask
for men hy admitting that women are'
weaker than men and possess less en-1
durance and self-reliance and to add this!
weakness to the fabric of government i
wlli only serve to weaken the govern
ment and lessen the protection which ,t
accords to every one alike, women as well

A Dialogue
The following conversation took place
recently between a suffragist and an
anti-suffragist:
Mr. Antl No. I don't believe in woman
suffrage. I've got a ranch in Colorado
and the women don't vote. We try to
drag them to the polls, but they won't
go. and I'm going to vote against it in

of the wittiest of the speakers against
Have not they the right to stay at home
with the 7.000,000 men In the United
States who stay away from the polls on
election day?)
A little later:
Mr. Anti Women in Colorado elected
judge a bad man; women put dishonest
men In office.
Mr. Suffraglst-But you said Just a
little while ago they do not vote. -
Mr. Antl No, they don't.
Mr. Suffragist Then how are they re
sponsible for the Judge's, election?
No answgr.
Mr. Suffragist Isn't it true that there
are several thousand more men than
women in Colorado?
Mr. Antl Yes, several thousand.
Mr. Suffragist Then, If the women are
In the minority and don't vote besides,
how can they be responsible for bad con
ditions there?
No answer.
Tmilv. the antl-suffrage mind Is a
wondrous thing and works two ways at
once.
"The reason that my marriage was a
failure," said the first woman, "is because,
I did not know how to play.

STEPHEN S. WISE
TALKS ON WOMEN
Rabbi Wise, who preaches in Carnegie
liall In New York every Punday. Is one of
the most ardent auffraglsts who lifts up
a telling voice for the cause of woman's
enfranchisement. The following are ex
.racts from recent sermons:
"I hold that the absence of women from
he councils of state is partially, if not
largely, responsible for the continuance of
the plague of war upon earth. Is It less
than incredible that six or seven nations
are engaged In the greatest war that the
world -has ever known and not a woman
In all those lands has been consulted as
to whether war or peace should be, though
tens of thousands of men of women born
have died and the last great terrible cost
of war In life-long sorrow and suffering
will be by women borne?"
"Cnrest there is In womanhood today,
but there is more than unrest, for the
unrest which obtains in the world of
womanhood is symbolic of the warring of
mighty forces. Cure for unrest there can
be none, for unrest is not a disease, but
the never-ceasing pains of growth. The
awakening is the token of the life which
calls."
grams are the following:
"The same course of reasoning which
leads a woman to become an ardent suf
fragist will lead her to become an ar
dent feminist til along the line when
ever she has the courage to follow It
out to Kb logical conclusion."
"Every independent woman who takes
a hgh salary as a substitute for a bevy
of babies is murdering posterity."
"It is better to he a good cow than a
poor politician."
